This template merges the previous Infobox Airliner accident and Infobox Mid-air collision templates, i.e. it is meant to be used in articles about accidents or incidents involving one, two or three aircraft. The format opposite shows the template's full syntax; for examples of accidents/incidents involving a single aircraft and multiple aircraft, see below.

[edit] Parameters

Required parameters in bold. Alternative names for use when only one aircraft involved are shown in italics.

Parameter Explanation
name Accident/incident's commonly-known name (defaults to {{PAGENAME}}).
image Picture of the accident/incident or its aftermath, or, if involving a single aircraft, that aircraft.
caption Caption for image above.
date Date on which accident/incident occurred.
type Phrase describing the type and/or cause of the accident/incident. See below for examples.
site Accident/incident's location (e.g. placename, nearest city/town, country).
coords Accident/incident's site coordinates. For coordinates, use {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.
For two/three-aircraft accidents/incidents:
total_injuries The total number of people injured in the accident/incident. Add in brackets if any of this number were people other than crew or passengers, or if it was everyone involved (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)").
total_fatalities The total number of people killed in the accident/incident. Add in brackets if any of this number were other than crew or passengers, or if everyone involved died (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)").
total_survivors The total number of people who survived the accident/incident. Add in brackets if any of this number were people other than crew or passengers, or if everyone involved survived (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)").

plane1_passengers
passengers		 Number of passengers onboard (first) aircraft.
plane1_crew
crew		 Number of crew onboard (first) aircraft.
plane1_injuries
injuries		 If a single-plane accident/incident, the total number of injuries caused by the accident/incident; add in brackets if any of this number were people other than crew or passengers, or if it was everyone involved (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)"). Otherwise, for a two/three-aircraft accident/incident, the number of people injured onboard the first aircraft.
plane1_fatalities
fatalities		 If a single-plane accident/incident, the total number of deaths caused by the accident/incident; add in brackets if any of these people were other than crew or passengers, or if everyone involved died (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)"). Otherwise, for a two/three-aircraft accident/incident, the number of people killed onboard the first aircraft.
plane1_survivors
survivors		 Number of people involved who survived. If a single-plane accident/incident, add in brackets if any of these people were other than crew or passengers, or if everyone involved survived (e.g. "123 (4 on ground)", "123 (all)"). Otherwise, for a two/three-aircraft accident/incident, the number of people onboard the first aircraft who survived.
The parameters for a second and third aircraft involved in the accident/incident (plane2_ and plane3_) follow the same pattern.

[edit] Microformats

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • "adr"
  • "county-name"
  • "fn"
  • "label"
  • "locality"
  • "nickname"
  • "note"
  • "org"
  • "region"
  • "street-address"
  • "vcard"

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • "geo"
  • "latitude"
  • "longitude"

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only appear if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates).

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

  • "dtend"
  • "dtstart"
  • "location"
  • "summary"
  • "vevent"
